Pure Love, Pure Life

Purity is often presented as a series of don’ts—don’t think that way, don’t look that way, don’t act that way. But real purity is about the freedom God gives us to live a life of happiness apart from everything that can harm us. In Elsa Kok Colopy’s newest book for teens thirteen to fifteen, teens will discover the pure life.

I crafted every portion of you and I am delighted with my work. I have a purpose and a plan for your life, and I will walk with you every step of the way. Will you trust me? When you think of purity, what comes to mind? Perfect behavior? Impossible standards? Everything focused on waiting for that special guy? If so, you’re not alone. The good news is purity isn’t just a list of don’ts—don’t think that way, don’t look that way, don’t act that way. It’s a God-designed plan for a happy life. Honest, humorous, and real, Pure Love, Pure Life provides practical tools to help you navigate the temptations and frustrations you face every day, stories from girls who have been there, and tips on what to do if your pure life takes a detour. Discover a new vision of purity, how you can live it in today’s broken reality, and why it’s worth the effort.

Review by Jalynn

Overall Rating

Purity has never been a real concern to society. Magazines and movies, these days show the exact opposite of purity. With the world telling you one thing and the church wanting you to do the opposite. It is sometimes very difficult for a teenage girl to decipher what to do. Elsa Von Colopy helps answer the questions that concerns most girls. From dating to marriage, the author breaks down the in's and out's of staying pure until marriage.

With a light hearted point of view, Elsa explains the things she went through as a teenager and ultimately as a grown woman. As society grows more and more deceptive, we need a voice such as hers to tell us exactly what to expect and how to respond. She gives a bare bones truth that I have rarely seen in an author.

**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from my participation on the Z Blog Squad. (Posted on 1/22/2015)
